chas_m,

Could you post the exact make and model of your firewire burner? I tried a Google search, but the term FireWire Superdrive burner is too generic.

Thanks

Follow up on optical disc drive problem.

I took the Mini to the Apple store. Nice place, I was greeted and asked my name. They already had my case info from Apple Care and did a troubleshoot on the drive. Conclusion was that the drive needed to be replaced. I left the computer and expected it to take two to three days. I was pleasantly surprised to get a call the next day about noon, the computer was repaired and ready to be picked up. The repair would have been $150USD but was free due to the Apple Care contract.

While at the store I got to play with several new computers, and got some Lion questions answered by a couple of very knowledgeable sales people. I also got to try an Apple keyboard and multiswipe trackpad.

Overall, one of the best 'product repair' experiences I have had.

Thanks to the experts here on this forum who diagnosed the problem as hardware not software.
